The French luxury group LVMH has filled two key positions, including the CEO position at Givenchy.
Amandine Ohayon will be appointed Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Givenchy effective January 9, LVMH said on Wednesday. Her predecessor Alessandro Valenti will take on the role of Deputy Managing Director at Christian Dior Couture and will be responsible for commercial activities. He will take up this role on January 12th.
A new leadership for Givenchy
As Givenchy CEO, Ohayon will be responsible for the fashion house’s future growth and will report directly to Pietro Beccari, Chairman and CEO of LVMH Fashion Group. Her arrival is part of a period of renewal for the house, whose collections are designed by Sarah Burton, who was appointed creative director in 2024.
Amandine Ohayon is a graduate of ESSEC Paris and has extensive experience in the luxury sector. She began her career in 1998 at LVMH at Christian Lacroix in New York. She then moved to L’Oréal, where she held marketing and management positions for various cosmetic brands. Most recently, she was managing director of the bridal fashion brand Pronovias from 2018 to 2023, before taking over the management of Stella McCartney.
Pietro Beccari welcomed the appointment. In a statement, he highlighted her “unique ability to work with the most creative talent” as well as her “expertise in retail.” Your task will be to accelerate the company’s new growth chapter. She will work closely with creative director Sarah Burton to develop this “ambitious project”.
Strengthening the commercial management at Christian Dior Couture
In his new role, Valenti will report to Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou, Deputy CEO of Modhause. The appointment follows new momentum sparked by Jonathan Anderson. Anderson was named creative director of Dior’s women’s collections in June 2025, succeeding Maria Grazia Chiuri.
Alessandro Valenti, a graduate of Luigi Bocconi University, joined the LVMH Group in 2014. He held various positions of responsibility at Louis Vuitton before becoming President of the EMEA region and Managing Director of Givenchy in 2024. Sidney Toledano thanked Alessandro Valenti for his effective management of the “Givenchy transition phase”. He emphasized that the fashion house is now “ideally positioned” for future growth.
For Christian Dior Couture, this appointment is a response to specific commercial challenges. Pierre-Emmanuel Angeloglou expressed confidence that Alessandro Valenti will make a “significant contribution” to the brand’s retail and digital performance. This is thanks to his vision and his ability to mobilize the teams.
